Very clean, up to date, private room with private bath and QUIET! The location couldn’t have been more convenient - 50 meters from the bus station. Highly recommend for solo travelers. <100 Euros/night is great deal and better than a hostel.

Excellent location right next to the bus station and 2 minutes from train station. Area felt safe and easy and short walk to main part of town. Room spacious enough with plenty of room for storage. Bathroom large and updated. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that having a TV in the room would have been nice.

The hotel is in a great location. Minutes from the bus station, minutes to the square a few more minutes to the Latin Quarter and all kinds of great shops. The rooms are nice but a comfortable chair would have made them great. The shared amenities are great. They have a book exchange so bring an extra book to leave behind if you’re able to.

Interesting place to stay. Felt young again being in student housing. Very comfortable common area to sit downstairs. Perfect for singles. In the unit my cousin and I had, the doors to the bedrooms were fire doors so automatically closed and locked. (I did end up, locking myself out.)

This was a hostel type “hotel” with no daily room cleaning. Rooms are smaller than pictured. Floor very dirty and shower was small with light water pressure and mildew. Location is great and they provide a fan for warm nights. Our room was quiet, faced away from main road. Staff helpful with extra towels and pillows

Let's be real, this isn't a hotel; it's student accommodations they rent out. Which is fine, but definitely far from a hotel feeling. We put the sign on our door every day requesting a cleaning, and never got one. The two-person bed is tiny and hard. Just pay a little more and get a real hotel.

Tiny cramped noisy room. Lacked any amenities. Bed wedged against wall. No tv no tea no coffee and as noisy as a jet. Absolutely ruined our time in Galway. Hotel generally hot and stuffy. Strictly for 20 year old.

It is a student housing/cheap hotel so you do get what you pay for. It is very simple and bare bone. The room and duvet are quite warm and there is no cooling aircon, so do watch out for that. I will say that the staff are super nice and helpful. Our shower was draining super slow and we only told them the 2nd last night of the stay. They offer to switch our room, which we did not bother as it was smaller and we only had couple more night. Regardless, hey sent someone to fix it the next day. Overall, I would stay there again, as I am not a luxury traveler and it met my needs.

Room was not the cleanest possible. For example the floor was not vacuumed after earlier customers. There was a TV in the room but no channels - no antenna cable. Kitchenette did not have anything that one would assume to belong there. For example no cutlery.
